NXP i.MX 8ULP ARM Cortex-A35 / M33
The flexible MSC SM2S-IMX8ULP SMARC 2.1.2 module family is highly scalable and equipped with i.MX 8ULP Crossover Applications Processor that brings ultra-low-power processing and advanced integrated security with EdgeLock secure enclave to the intelligent edge. The i.MX8ULP family features up to two ARM Cortex-A35 running at 1 GHz, an ARM Cortex-M33 core, 3D/2D Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and a Tensilica Hifi 4 DSP and Fusion DSP for low-power audio/voice and edge AI/ML processing.
The MSC SM2S-IMX8ULP module integrates the processor and low-power LPDDR4 memory technology, combined with up to 256GB eMMC Flash memory. Various interfaces for embedded applications such as Ethernet, USB 2.0, CAN-FD, dual-channel LVDS or MIPI DSI and MIPI CSI for connecting a camera are available. The thermal design power (TDP) of the module ranges from 1 to 3 W depending on used power mode.
The module is compliant with the new SMARC 2.1.1 standard, allowing easy integration with SMARC baseboards. For evaluation and design-in of the
SM2S-IMX8ULP module, MSC provides a development platform and a starter kit. Support for Linux is available (Microsoft Azure Sphere and Android support available on request).
